A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and simplified, with slightly uneven contours and intermittent pitted/rough interior texture that suggests ink spread or worn printing. Terminals are mostly blunt and rounded, counters are small but generally open, and the overall rhythm is steady while retaining an organic, hand-formed feel.
Best suited for short, bold statements where texture and personality are desirable—posters, apparel graphics, stickers, craft or food packaging, and punchy social graphics. It works particularly well in headlines, labels, and display settings where the distressed surface can be appreciated without overwhelming long passages.
The font reads friendly and approachable, but with a gritty, imperfect surface that adds attitude. It balances childlike warmth with a rough, street-poster energy, giving copy a tactile, handmade presence rather than a clean digital finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, chunky display voice with intentionally imperfect edges and a worn/inky texture, evoking hand-printed or well-used lettering. It prioritizes impact and character over pristine uniformity, making it useful for themed branding and bold promotional typography.
The distressed texture is subtle-to-moderate and appears consistently across letters and numerals, creating visual noise that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The rounded construction helps maintain legibility despite the heavy weight and compact counters.
